Chiyoko: The 1 000 Generations Child

Chapter 10: Pinky Promise

It was passed midnight as Chiyoko, Ruri and Yusei followed Kenji back to the shop. Ruri started to slump.

"Sleepy sleepy, so tired," she murmured. "

Yusei put away his notebook. "Let me bring you home," he softly said as he scooped her up bridal style.

Ruri wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest.

"Nooooooo, not yet, I want to see how Chiyoko-chan will help him more."

"You can barely keep your eyes open...." Yusei remained silent for a while. "Let's make a deal.

Kizuna Chiyoko promises to not perform any acts of kindness anymore today and you go to bed a.s.a.p, mylady."

Chiyoko shot daggers at Yusei. "It's never my intention to perform any acts of kindness." She continued as she pointed at Kenji: "Especially not for him!"

"Yet you seem to do nothing but acts of kindness for him," Yusei said, a smirk plastered on his face.

Chiyoko balled her fists. Her head turned red and she hit Yusei's arm.

Yusei turned his upper body holding Ruri away from Chiyoko's attack and held out his other arm as a shield.

"Calm down," Yusei hissed. "Just promise to stop doing anything related with the guy for tonight so Ruri-chan can get some sleep."

Chiyoko glared at Yusei before looking at a drowsy Ruri.

"Alright. I promise. You can go to sleep, Ru-chan. I won't do anything nice for the guy while you're asleep."

Ruri held up her pinky. "Pinky promise?"

Chiyoko sighed, but couldn't quite surpress a smile. "Pinky promise."

Yusei watched the scene. He then said: "I'll be back" and poofed away with a sleepy Ruri in his arms.

Chiyoko continued to follow Kenji.

There must be something he's afraid of. There must be something to ruin his day.... What is it?!

As he walked into the shop, the bag he carried reflected the pink neon light.

An evil plan formed in Chiyoko's mind.

I said I wouldn't be helping the guy, so technically I'm not breaking my promise...

I'm just going to make his life a bit tougher.

Smoke surrounded Chiyoko as she reduced her body to a mere head with feet. She sneaked in Kenji's bag.

When he opens the bag he'll get so scared he might faint!

And until then I'll just slowly add more weight to wear him down...

I'm a genius.

While Kenji was heading back to the shop, Azami phoned the local church.

"I need your help. There's an evil spirit in my house.

How I know for sure?

It already damaged my roof. It just threw off the tiles just like that! And if it continues wrecking the place I'll end up completely homeless.

I'm just a scary old pennyless lady. You're doing this for free, right?"

A decisive voice spoke: "Don't worry, it's free of charge. Give me the address and I'll be there in five."

The reverend wrote down the address. She sighed.

She took her leather bag and checked its contents.

Moving tiles? It's been a while such a powerful yokai has shown itself.

A grin crossed her lips.

I hope it's the 1 000 problems child...
